Welcome to Safest Family on the Block, where knowledge is power. This project exists to bring information from top professionals to families like yours and mine.
The Mission
It all started because of three indisputable facts:
Most parents are dangerously underinformed about the most important issues of family safety.
Most media information about family safety is written under tight deadlines by people who are not safety professionals.
Most safety courses and workshops are presented by high-level operators, who live in a completely different context from regular parents like us.
Our solution? A series of interviews, books, courses, and other resources that take the specialized knowledge of those high-level operators, but translates it through the lens of a regular parent — albeit a parent with more than a ten years of journalism experience and nearly four decades of martial arts training.
The result is the tools and information you need to keep your family safe, one topic and one step at a time.
We’re glad you’re here, and hope you’ll become part of the conversation.
It’s been said that people don’t really know fear until they become parents. That may or may not be true, but boy to most safety products and coaches lean into that.
At Safest Family on the Block, we’re not about fear. We’re about identifying easy-to-implement solutions to the things that scare us, leaving parents empowered and powerful.

Where to Start?
If you live near one of our gardens, get involved to receive portions of each harvest. We accept volunteers regardless of skill level. There is a rotation in roles, but we’ll teach you all the skills you need to know. Teenagers 14 years and older can earn community service credits for school in addition to getting produce for their families. Donations are also vital to our growth, as we use them for seed, fertilizer, tools, and outreach.
